WHAT WAS THAT? I had a nuclear stress test today, and it was a terrifying experience. I would have loved the challenge of doing the treadmill, as I have been on the treadmill for six months, not fast but on there. However, my knee was bad, and I didn’t want to injure it anymore.
Instead, they give you a shot that causes your heart to feel stressed. CRAP that was terrifying. My breathing was so bad, and the pressure in my chest was frightening. Tears just rolled down my cheeks as I tried to maintain. YIKES, but worse than that, after the test I felt extremely confused. That freaked me out. When I told the doctors, they brushed it off. Then I felt incredibly emotional. Hope I don’t have to do that again.
Plus… I spend all this time eating right and not putting things in my body, and they come to me with a shot that they have to carry in a metal box? I let them put that in me? Wow, one day in the future we will look at our medicine and think, “how barbaric.” Has anyone else had this done and react to it?
I’m doing what it takes to be the best me I can be. My goal is to one day get back on the dance floor.
I found this https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5497239/ It says that in rare cases this an cause amnesia. Guess I’m a rare case. This link gives me so much peace. I thought I was losing it.
